It's been a while since I last wrote here. Life's kept me busy in a nice way. The poem below was a spontaneous one and has not gone through any editing as such. Inspired by the lives of many around me.
That was then
This is now
We’ve changed
You and I
And
We can’t fathom
How
Then there were
Secret smiles
Clandestine conversations
Passionate encounters
Every second together
Mattered
Every minute apart
Shattered
Now all that’s left is
Lingering feelings
Unfulfilled desires
Longings
Quiet sighs
Silent tears
Known and
Unknown
Fears
Even as I
Voice myself
Through my words
I can sense
Your discomfort
Try as I might
It will end
There’s a sense
Of finality
Tonight
